Reviews and Endorsements

Remarkable, wise and potentially paradigm-shifting ― Guardian

Braiding Sweetgrass is the book we all need right now. It is a vision of a new world, of reciprocity, gratitude and seeing the living world for what it is: an abundance of gifts. Kimmerer is uniquely placed to braid indigenous knowledge with scientific learnings and she does it with kindness, ingenuity and a poet's prose. It is truly the text for our times. -- Lucy Jones ― author of Losing Eden

An extraordinary book, showing how the factual, objective approach of science can be enriched by the ancient knowledge of the indigenous people. It is the way she captures beauty that I love the most - the images of giant cedars and wild strawberries, a forest in the rain and a meadow of fragrant sweetgrass will stay with you long after you read the last page ― Jane Goodall

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read ― Daily Herald

I give daily thanks for Robin Wall Kimmerer for being a font of endless knowledge, both mental and spiritual -- Richard Powers ― The New York Times
